Hi, something strange has been happening the past two days. Yesterday, my iPhone and wireless printer required me to re-enter the password to connect to the wifi router. After I re-entered that for the printer, no problem. However, iPhone keeps losing connection. Even I entered the correct password, sometimes it says that my password is incorrect. Other times it says that it cannot connect to the network. Sometimes connected for 1-2 second and then disconnected again. MBP happened once today but after I re-entered the password, it connects without issue. What is happening?
Got a tip for us?

My first thought is to ask why your router suddenly needed a password from most, or all your devices.
Has this happened before with this router?
And, now at least one device doesn't want to stay connected.
I suspect that you have a failing router (?)
Have you tried rebooting the router? Turn off, or unplug the power cord. Leave for a minimum of 2 minutes, then power on again. If you still have problems connecting, you can try a reset of the router settings (clearing all settings to defaults, usually by holding a reset button on the back or the bottom, for 10 seconds or so, then re-entering your network settings and passwords for the router.)
If THAT doesn't result in a more stable connection, does the router belong to you, or your ISP? If the ISP, get them to replace the router. If the router belongs to you, replace it.
